SUMMARY:Saturday Skills Session
DESCRIPTION:This is a session at Loch Lomond (normally)\, with the chance to practice and learn new skills or practice with one or more of the clubs coaches\, whether sea\, flat water\, playboating\, polo or open canoe. This can be aimed at a personal performance awards or just improving general skills\, knowledge and experience. It is open to all skill levels and will try to make use of any wind\, waves or sunshine! \nAlthough the coaches vary Graham is the contact (graham.m.swanson@gmail.com)\, the coaches on the day will vary\, and hopefully may be several available! \nPlease get in touch to secure your space. The session only runs if someone is going to attend to avoid the volunteer coach travelling unnecessarily. Unless otherwise agreed meeting is at the Balloch Store at 10am and bring some lunch and a hot drink. We will also try to arrange lift sharing if possible. \nIf you fancy running or helping with coaching on a future date please let me know.

SUMMARY:Fireworks Night Paddle
DESCRIPTION:This is a night paddle on Loch Lomond on a night where being on the water will give a great view of all the fireworks! Paddlers will have been on at least 5 club trips and everyone will need to be carrying on-person and on-boat lights (there will lots of cruisers out and about with the same idea!). \nWe will need winds no more than F2 for this paddle to go ahead. \nORGANIZER\n\n\nBev:  ouzmanb@aol.com

SUMMARY:Pinkston Evening Session (1/2 Pump)
DESCRIPTION:Club night at Pinkston White Water Course\, providing opportunity to consolidate boat control skills on moving water. \nLevel of difficulty relates to number of pumps in operation – this will be decided on the evening dependent upon attendees.    Typically we start on 1 pump and then switch to 2 pumps midway through the session. \nThe flat water basis can also be accessed and is good for rolling practice or building confidence on moving water.

SUMMARY:AGM 2023 and Talks
DESCRIPTION:The club AGM will be held on Wednesday 11th October at 7.20pm at Partickhill Bowling and Community Hall (26 Partickhill Road\, Partick\, G11 5BY).  If anyone would prefer to attend the AGM remotely\, please contact  (info@dckc.co.uk) and we will do our best to also facilitate an online option (e.g. via Zoom or otherwise).\n\nAll members are welcome and encouraged to attend the AGM. As well as finding out more about how the club work there is the chance to bring up items and contribute to any discussions.\n\nWe have the hall from 7pm for a pre-meeting chat/tea/social and after the “business” we have a couple of talks/video/slideshows that will hopefully be enjoyable for all.\n\nNew members of the committee are also very welcome – if you are interested in joining the committee please feel free to chat informally to a current committee member to find out what is involved. Being a committee member is not too onerous – we have a meeting once every 2 months – and is a good way to meet other folk within the club.\n\nWe look forward to seeing you all on 5th October! If you can’t attend and would like your  apologies to be noted\, please contact the secretary on (info@dckc.co.uk).\n\nA link to the 2022 AGM draft minutes is a the bottom of this page Club Documents

SUMMARY:Pool Session
DESCRIPTION:DCKC Pool sessions \nOur swimming pool sessions happen at Clydebank Swimming Pool [ Google maps link ] every Tuesday evening from September to the end of April.  Generally these are informal sessions which offer the opportunity to practise techniques and get used to being in a kayak.  With the benefit of being in warm/heated water\, it’s the perfect opportunity to practise support strokes\, capsize procedures\, kayak rolling\, balance exercises\, and even just getting in and out of a kayak. \nPool session times \n7.30 to 9pm.** \nWhat to bring:-\nA towel\nSwimming costume\nThin thermal or t-shirt\nSwimming googles\nFee for swimming pool\nOptional (you can also bring if you wish – there is no requirement to bring these)\nNeoprene Spray-deck\nYour own paddle\n\nWhat we provide\nKayaks (general purpose plastic & kayak polo style)\nPaddles\nNylon Spray-decks\n\nNOTES: \n– This is a community even run by volunteers.  Please come along expecting to help manoeuvring kayaks and equipment in and out of the pool and into storage.  If you are unsure how to help please ask someone   \n– When you arrive at the pool there is no need to pay at the front desk – please continue through the changing area\, get changed and payment can be made in cash at the poolside.  The pool session prices are shown here. \n– In the kayak store on the far bank of the pool\, the kayaks should be emptied of water and must be stored nose down (drain bung upwards) so that any remaining/residual water does not run out onto the store floor.   \n– If the pool is busy (more people than boats) we may split the session in 2 or just ask people to work in pairs.\n\n**Unfortunately COVID impacts at the Leisure Centre mean we are not back to our regular 2 hour sessions but rather have a 90 minutes session.

SUMMARY:Awesome Ailsa Craig
DESCRIPTION:This is an ambitious trip out to Ailsa Craig\, that dramatic granite outpost\, with an overnight camp planned so that we can scale that iconic summit and truly explore the island and lighthouse! It’s a long\, open-water crossing of around 16km so we will need to keep our fingers crossed for a decent weather window. This is a Grade C paddle due to the committing nature of the trip.

SUMMARY:Falls of Lora Play Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The Falls of Lora are famous (infamous?) for the accelerated flow of water through under the bridge\, allowing a great venue to learn and improve moving water and rough water skills. Both Saturday and Sunday of this weekend are a “red” (albeit a smallish red) tide with a good ebb flow starting from  around lunchtime\, allowing some acclimatisation as the flow builds. Folk are welcome to come for one or both days\, and the aim will be on enjoying the adventure of moving water in our sea kayaks. Helmets are essential as is the ability to edge and a willingness to get wet! Numbers will be limited. Anyone not sure\, please get in touch for a chat to find out what it’s all about.
